If Angel Gabriel Could Speak in 2021. The Year of Covid.
(A lone voice whispers)
I have lived and walked for more than a thousand years
Amongst you
The ever-growing and changing masses
I have heard and answered so many heartfelt prayers
Spoken in the long shadows and convinced so many to stay the course
Whenever they felt doubtful as things seem to fall apart at the seams
Or just got increasingly worse or perverse
To always remember
No matter how magnetic the seductive pull of temptation
To appreciate how green their own grass is
I've held soft and hard hands
Consoled the young and old and tried to comfort
So many crying silently in the painful mazes of their own darkness
Its unspoken number is truly unfathomable
I have been a whispering Mage appearing in diverse forms before so many others
Sent by the Almighty on High to try to nurture and encourage
Endowing them with a higher power to always find the strength and courage
In rekindling their inner flame once lit so long ago by a glorious sacred candle
To stand strong and be willing and able
For I'm indomitable
An angel sent to bring hope to even you and all the others who may feel inconsolable
For I'm just a bringer of inner peace
For God is my strength and my ministry
One that speaks of everlasting mercy and promise
No matter how dark your worlds many changing political landscapes or forests
My favourite name of all is Archangel Gabriel
And if you find one of my billions of white feathers that I sometimes leave
Especially for those beautiful heartbroken souls
Whatever their pain and tragically emotional reasons in 2021
The mournful year of Covid 19 to grieve
To help find hope or whatever they need
To once again be encouraged to believe
As you live through your limited mortal life
Just pick one up and keep it real close in your coat or trouser pocket as a good luck locket
For it will help bring you peace and tranquillity
Throughout all those morose long cold winter or hot summer nights
When you need to rekindle
your old belief in a religious phenomenon
Whilst seeking to conquer or accept
Your physical or mental vulnerabilities
To help you carry on
No matter what seemingly hard endless times
You may appear to have fallen on
